My evaluations in all of my classes are very good – excellent and above departmental averages. • Pollution and Population Dynamics (FRS 003). Concepts in quantitative population dynamics: project class focuses on linking vulnerable populations with significant biological, chemical, or thermal “contaminants” • Probability and Statistics for Engineering Systems Analysis (ECI 114). Basic probability and statistics for upper-division engineering undergraduates • Groundwater Systems Design (ECI 144). Introductory hydrogeology and groundwater hydraulics; well systems; groundwater quality and contamination, introduction to groundwater modeling. • Water Quality Management (ECI 148A). Concepts of water quality, aqueous inorganic chemistry, water and wastewater treatment processes, and water quality management. • Advanced Hydrogeology: Flow (ECI 272A). Continuum mechanics of subsurface flow processes; geologic properties, flow in confined and unconfined aquifers, radial flow and well hydraulics; heterogeneity and introductory stochastic hydrogeology; isotopes and isotopic hydrogeology. • Advanced Hydrogeology: Transport (ECI 272B). Continuum mixture mechanics of subsurface transport processes; transport equations and analytical solutions; Nonlocal transport theories and continuous-time random walks; numerical approaches including finite volume and finite difference solution strategies for flow and transport in aquifers; use of public domain codes for groundwater transport modeling. • Advanced Hydrogeology: Reactive Transport (ECI 272C). Multicomponent reactive transport modeling involving both kinetically-controlled reactions and reactions at equilibria, in multiphase systems; formulation of reaction networks for remediation of groundwater contaminants (metals, organics) by chemical or microbiological means, with three- dimensional advective-dispersive-diffusive transport; application of public domain code (PHREEQCII) in solving reactive transport problems in one-dimension. • Finite Elements and Volumes: Applications to Fluid Problems (ECI 212C) Application of the finite element and finite volume approaches to multidimensional fluid flow problems, including viscous incompressible flow, advective-diffusive transport, and the shallow water equations. • Metals in Hydrology (ECI 289A) Survey of dissolved and colloidal metal contamination of environmental water; thermodynamics of aqueous speciation, sorption, and surface complexation reactions; modeling inorganic equilibrium reaction systems, remediation. • Groundwater Modeling with GWVistas (ECI 289A) Basic introduction to three-dimensional modeling of groundwater flow and transport using Groundwater Vistas program. • Inverse Problems (ECI 271, begun in 2007). Introduction to inverse problems; mappings nomenclature, integral equation forms, linear algebraic forms, optimization forms. Optimization solution methods including zero-, first-, and second-order; use of UCODE public domain code for first-order (gradient-based) optimization, in context of hydrogeological and other fields. 2 Graduate and Undergraduate student research assistants I regularly involve undergraduates in research as part of my teaching. This is formalized through either credit-conferring special class set-up or by hiring the student as undergraduate research assistant, or both. This is how my research mentoring began with several of my eventual graduate students, including Tammer Barkouki (2007), Vanessa Nino (2009), and Andrew Benjamin (2012) who I recruited after he completed his football scholarship at UCDavis, and others including KC Curthoys (2006) and Diego de la Torre (2013) who went to engineering practice after obtaining their undergraduate degrees. My current group includes 10 undergraduate assistants, included in the listing below. The current group (9/2014) includes 3 doctoral, 1 master’s, and 10 undergrad researchers.

  • Guidelines for Amendments to the List of Reserved and Prohibited Domain Names Under the LBDR (Published: 15 November 2017 - Updated: 14 December 2018)
    Guidelines for amendments to the list of Reserved and prohibited domain names under the LBDR (Published: 15 November 2017 - Updated: 14 December 2018) This memorandum specifies the guidelines for amendments to Appendix-A. Adding new names Whether new names should be reserved, or their registration should be prohibited, is subject to ongoing assessment. These might be new generic domains, for example, if a new category of enterprise should emerge along the lines of AS (a limited-liability company); new geographical names, for example if new municipalities are created; new technical names in connection with the establishment of new services; and so on. If names which may be relevant emerge, an assessment is undertaken in consultation with the LBDR Advisory Board of whether these names fulfil the requirements for inclusion in one of the categories in Appendix A. LBDR may temporarily prohibit the names until a decision has been made. Notice of the decision that the names are to be added to Appendix A is given in the normal way, although for practical reasons the names will also be blocked during the notice period. The addition of new names to the prohibited/reserved list will not have retroactive effect. This means that names that have already been registered will not be removed even if they are added to the list. If the name is deleted later, new registration of the name will however be blocked. Such names cannot be transferred to a new domain name holder either. Taking names into use or removing names Names that are prohibited Every year, LBDR carries out an assessment of whether these names should still be prohibited or should be removed from Appendix A.

No previous work have been considered in North Lebanon plain concerning pesticide pollution though it is the second agricultural zone in Lebanon with an excessive activity. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the contamination and to map the pollution level of groundwater by organochlorine pesticides in Northern Lebanon. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge embedded with Hydrophilic-lipophilic-balanced (HLB) copolymer were used for the isolation and trace enrichment of pesticide from water samples followed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to quantify pesticide concentrations. The levels of organochlorine pesticide recorded in groundwater of Akkar district exceeded the limits set by the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants with total amounts that can reach 14.2 µg/L. Contamination was also found to be more important inland with the frequent presence of banned pesticide such HCH isomers, 4,4’-DDT, aldrin and endrin.
